changing backtrack resolution..

is it possible to change backtrack resolution I've got backtrack installed on to my hard drive, and when I want to change the resolution to 800x600 it goes into a CLI prompt and then I do startx again but it goes into the previous resolution
I got 1024x768
any help appreciated...

After logging in on BT2 type startx.
In the KDE system tray (bottom RHS) there is an icon for screen size and rotate,
this may help. If however you have low video memory on your graphics card then you may be stuck at a lower resolution, you havent posted any details of what you are using, graphics card and chipset, amount of video memory etc, these help to answer your post

Resolution issues...

I'm having the same problem... I'm only able to run 640x480 by default, and don't have the option to select any higher resolutions via the gui, even when 'xconf' has already been ran. Also, I have BT on a HD install, not VM, so setting the display properties of the VM is out.

However, when I hook my HD TV up to my DVI slot on my GPU, then run xconf, I have a plethora of different resolutions to choose from via the GUI. Only problem is, after I disconnect my TV and reboot, the selected resolutions do not save, and I'm stuck with 640x480 again.

1. How do I add higher resolutions to the GUI? (xconf just isn't doing the trick, unless my TV is hooked up of course!)
